Citizen Cope Announces 2019 US Headlining Tour Supporting New Album ‘Heroin And Helicopters,’ Out 3/1 On Rainwater Recordings/Thirty Tigers

Tour Includes A Special Performance At NYC's Beacon Theater, Plus Shows In Los Angeles, D.C. And More

Citizen Cope has announced an extensive, rare full-band US tour in support of his first album in seven years, ‘Heroin And Helicopters,’ out March 1st on Rainwater Recordings/Thirty Tigers. The tour will include a special performance at NYC’s Beacon Theater; a show at the Novo in Los Angeles, where Cope now lives; a return to his hometown venue DC’s, 9:30 Club; and more.

Cope has toured the world extensively over the course of his 25-year career as a musician, including appearances at Coachella, Bonnaroo, Sasquatch, Austin City Limits, and many more. His transformative performance style has earned him praise from The Washington Post, who dubbed Cope “DC’s finest export since Marvin Gaye.”

‘Heroin And Helicopters’ tackles Cope’s personal struggles with religion, political manipulation, hollowness in the entertainment world, and spiritual enlightenment, as he contends with his own role in those societal institutions. NPR Music’s World Cafe said lead single “Justice” “swaggers with a head-nodding groove and contains a yearning and soulful message of optimism and positivity.” Listen to “Justice” here: https://youtu.be/Y28DscGeu5g

Citizen Cope will kick off his 2019 tour on March 1st at Philadelphia’s Franklin Music Hall. Tickets for all dates go on sale on Friday, December 7th. Full tour routing below.
